JC I think your cherry picking what Leadie said, he definitely wasn't implying no assys, more how and where you do those assys versus the risk involved!
You might be the 'gun' instructor with META but there are individuals out there who let their 'perceived' abilities affect sound judgement and risk assessment to the point of the accident!
LeadSled: but it is clear that the message is lost on "the survivors".
If you read back over the posts in this thread I think you will see that Leadie's concerns are well founded.
